Stockholm - Instagram travel diary

And finally the last post from Stockholm is here! There are no more photos, I promise! ;)Today I decided to share snapshots from Instagram and some general tips.TravelJelena and I traveled with Air Serbiabecause we wanted to arrive at the Arlanda airport which is nearer to the city than the others.We picked Arlanda Expressas our transfer to the Stockholm city and it was really good choice even better than a taxi. It only takes 20 minutes from the airport to the Central Station in Stockholm and during this short trip you can use free Wi-Fi too! ;) After we arrived to the Central Station we decided to use taxi to our first hotel because of our luggage but if you travel light you can make a short walk if you are staying at some central hotels, it's not a long distance (10-20 minutes walk).Tip: check the discounts for Arlanda Express and buy return ticket, it's cheaper or if you are not sure how you will travel back to the airport, change your money on time cause you don't want to run through the Central Station like we did! ;)Tip 2: if you are control freak and want to plan everything in advance, check this website so you can organize on time.
